Awesome Eileen! Good to see you here...been waiting for this...cheering you on today!0 -
Yesterday 9.8
1. NO eating in my sewing room -- REplace this habit with a good habit.
After first eating 1/2 of a bagel, then a yogurt, I remembered to grab my water and drink. that at least stopped me from eating more. I know this is just a awful habit of grabbing food in the evening!
2. Drink water in the evenings to keep from snacking
3. get in a 40 minute walk or bike ride tonite! Had to run errands, and then just never got out tonite. Probably my problem with the food eating also.
JFT, Wednesday, 9/9
1. NO eating in my sewing room. Have my water ready! Replace this habit with drinking water.
2. No matter how tired I am today, walk or ride my bike.
3. I was awake last nite until 4am, so I know this will be a harder day food-wise. I tend to want to eat when I am tired. Take a short nap instead of eating!
4. Be grateful for my health, and never take it for granted. Work at becoming a healthier me.
5. Read success stories.0 -
Listened to a great podcast that discussed maintaining healthy habits & I have to ask myself "can I sustain the habits I'm trying to adopt for the next 30 years"? If yes, then it's a wise choice.
This is a great thing to think about. Maintaining can be so hard unless we incorporate these habit while losing. It is not a diet, but a lifestyle change. thank you Sara for helping us all remember this!

I am expressing my gratitude for my life. On the flight into Dallas, the lady next to me on the plane was airsick and threw up on my shirt. Two couples with their kids across the aisle and the two rows behind me. One lady berated and belittled her husband the entire flight. Beaten man... Me, I've been traveling for a long, long time and after 23 years of marriage my lovely bride still sends me off with a love note in my briefcase. Despite the wild flight, she made my day. I have a good life.
This made me laugh, then smile! Wow - what a flight you had. But also, what a lovely thing for your wife to send you off with a note! I have been married for 38 years, I am so very grateful for all that I have. So much to be grateful for.
And, I hope your next flight is not so eventful!

Oh Joan I like your 3,4,5 JFT goals for today...I too easy when I'm tired...so take a nap! I don't know why I deny myself that...and being grateful for the health I have...reading success stories are a two edged sword bit I do like talking to real people dealing with real struggles! Keep going my new friend we aren't perfect but step by step well get there.0 -

Well, yesterday was a complete wash. Wasn't feeling well, so I stayed home to watch NOVA documentaries and then went to sleep early. I've really been dragging lately and I am not sure why. I'm having a bit of a fibro flare, but it really isn't bad enough to use as an excuse. Today I really need to whip myself into shape!
Wednesday:
1. 10,000
2. swim a mile
3. under 100G carbs0 -

- double bootcamp and work hard
- avoid having ANY biscuits at my sister's
- hit calorie target or under
**Sigh**
Yes to double bootcamp and pushing it
Hmmmm. Had 1 biscuit at sister's and resisted more
A bit over on calories despite double bootcamp. Basically. ... on bootcamp days I don't eat before class (or maybe half a glass of home juiced vegs). On double class days that means I eat breakfast around 12, have a very light snack lunch around 2 or 2.30 then a smallish dinner as still have food in my system.
Today drove straight from bootcamp to my sister's 1 hour away. So my first meal was lunch at 1pm. I was still in calorie deficit after lunch. Blood sugar drops late afternoon and I'm starving... hence the biscuit. Left at 7 to drive home... still v hungry so bought some snack biscuits on way home. Felt a bit better. Then had a light dinner.
But the snack took me over where I planned to be today.
Learning:
On bootcamp days I MUST eat more than just an apple after class and make sure I get 3 (small) meals to keep my energy up. Not eating is actually making me eat more!!

Thursday's goals
- sensible food choices all day then enjoy my meal out with friends. I know I'll be over target tomorrow and I'm ok with that if I eat to plan u til the evening
- meditate. Not doing enough of this!!0 -
Check in: #2 is the only thing I've been doing consistently.
The school year has just started, and I've been working nonstop on school related stuff and home projects that are time sensitive. I'm far from lazy, but my energy level is now suffering due to lack of exercise and sleep.
This will make my schedule and workload a bit more stressful, but if it gives me more energy, I should be able to accomplish more in less time.
I scheduled personal training sessions, which will bring me closer to my daily /weekly goal.michelle1173 wrote: »Jft for 9/8 to 9/11
1. Log calories
2. Drink 8 glasses of water
3. Try to do at least 30 min of exercise twice during the week

Under my calorie goal and make good choices despite a few weak moments.
Worked out for 38 minutes.
Reinforced my wellness mantra twice
For today:
I will stay under my calorie goal for the day. Going out for TexMex with friends for dinner.
I will work out for 40 minutes
I will express my wellness mantra
I am expressing gratitude for MFP. For years I tried to give myself "points" or some other system for making solid food and exercise choices. MFP makes this easy to track calories in and out.
Loved the day but exceeded by calorie goals.
Was 20% over on the net, 29% over my self imposed hard stop. Had a great time with friends at dinner and while I made decent choices I wasn't going to have a grilled chicken breast at this restaurant.
Worked out for 88 minutes including 51 minutes on the treadmill (always feels more difficult to me) at 3.5 mph
Expressed my wellness mantra out loud
For today:
I will stay under my calorie goal for the day.
Early morning and long drive back. Targeting an off day for exercise.
I will express my wellness mantra
I'm expressing my gratitude for a mentor in my life. Saw him and his incredible wife for dinner last night, first time in 15+ years. He sent me down the path of leadership driven by developing people. Made a huge impact on my career. Also a great reminder that there's more to life than work and to not wait to pursue dreams.
